As soon as I unlocked the iPad and pulled up the image on the editing app I use, I froze. What the heck did I want for this piece to look like? I had a good sense of the sort of emotion I wanted to convey, but I had absolutely no clue how I should go about doing so. It was like white-canvas syndrome, except on an iPad. I talked to Coach Hall. He suggested that I should try to make as many copies as possible so that I could explore my options and keep on generating new ideas as I create. For some reason, hearing that took the pressure off me -- self-ascribed pressure, that is. I did notice that all of the variations I made have some similarities: I prefer for the letters to be bold and angled across the house. Additionally, I have also used all warm colors (red, orange, and yellow) for the writing. I have been trying to resolve the exposed skin near my chest by other covering it with words or basically "wiping it away" by blending it into the background. I keep on wanting to resist this, though, because it feels like it goes against my theme of ownership. I need to let go of this rebellious feeling because it is keeping me from getting close to a version that satisfies my own goals and also respects the school.
